turned from trip through the logging

taries state that the cut of logs this year
comes short of the anticipated amount by

men giving up pinery work to accept
more lucrative and steady situations in
the new mining districts north of there.
The greatest iron craze prevails and the
fabulous stories in circulation are in>
ducing many to spend all of their saw
ings in options. The scarcity of labor
throughout Wisconsin will prevent the
vacancies Of the woodsmen being filled,
and as consequence should the STAINS
pede to the mining districts become
general, a curtailment of the log cut in
the Chippewa and Superior districts will
be inevitable.

THE WAR EAGLE.

Among the improvements adopted for
the steamer War Eagle, that is receiving
an entirely new system of steam making
apparatus, will be a set of repeating cleo,
trio bells in her engine house snG engine
room. 1t is believed the invention will
prove a great improvement over the old
method of signals from the pilot house.
B ltteries are placed IN the engine room
and electric wire connections are made
with the bells, which are loclted-two 10
the pilot house, two in the engine room
and two at the after end of the boilers.
When the pilot wishes to signal the en-
gineer to back Or stop the steamer he
simply presses button. when the proper
bell rings clearly in the engine room aud
aft the boilers: at the same time the ring
ing is repeated to the pilot, and be is
aware his signal is understood. 1t is
simple, and will prove of great service

BAKERS THE FIRST.

The Bakers Union was the first to re spond to the suggestion in the WORK ME>'S ADVOCATE of the 9th inst, to adopt measures for the celebration of Labor Day. That same evening there was special meeting of the Baker, Union, and they incorporated Labor Day, the first Monday in September. as a holiday m their rules and regulations The prospects are that New Haven will have demonstration this year. as other organizations. including the Trades Council, have signihed their intention of making day of 1t,

had been engaged ny | woman on Hill street to do house cleaning for the mu- niticent sum of seventy five cents a week. and that after hard weeks work she had been sent away with only fifty cents. On further inquiry the Knight of Labor found that the girl was of re- spectable but poor family living at Al Rediield street. But the little girl did not suffer for the balance due. Her new-found friend, himself poor man, gave her quarter to make up for the amount she was cheated out of.
 Nearly all of the political heelers that Hooked into the different labor organi- cations of this city previous to the late elections have gone out of them again. They have done their work, and believ- ing they have succeeded in disruptlng the organizations they have, to great extent gulled, they felt satisfied. But what fools they be | They have not dis rupted the labor cause; on the contrary | they have benefited it by showing the masses that they must beware of wolves l in sheep's clothing Never again will it be so easy to capture the labor organi- zations The eyes of the people are open, and no matter how many tears the reformed saints may shed, they will not be trusted. They've been weighed in the balance and found wanting. They've betrayed the trust coniided in them.
 The meeting of the striking painters held in Clan-na-Gael Hall last Saturday night was addressed by Mr. Seymour, President of the Painters Union of this city; Edward Conklin, President of the Painters Progressive Union, No. 1, of New York; John W. Jones, also of that city; Charles B. Leonard, Secretary oi the Painters Union of Hartfard; J. w. Taylor, New Orleans colored Knight oi Labor and several local labor men. Mir. Conkln gave some sound advice during the course of his remarks, and Walking Delegate Jones said that 7S, 900 Workmei in New York were ready to lay down $l apiece for the New Haven painters if the latter needed it, and that some of the best workmen might be wanted in New York to go to jobs there, MT. Taylor made some remarks about the progress of labor organizations in the South, and President Seymour gave a short but in teresting history of the Painters Union of New Haven.

TRADES COUNCIL.
Resolutions Against Bourbon Baynrd and
 Anti-BoycOtt Judges.

ntiBoycott Judges.
 Last Sundays meeting of the Trades Council was one of the most interesting this year. There was large representa- ton of the trade and labor organizations, and some business of drastic nature was accomplished. The Tailors' Union complained that bosses kIeiner and Machol employed scab labor, claiming that the former was a member of labor organization while prohibiting his em- ployes from joining a union.
 The decision of the Supreme Court was criticized and the following resolution passed:
 WHEREAS, The highest judicial tribu- nal in the State has approved the finding of the lower courts in the case of the JOmnui and Courier boycotters, which finding is u violation of the Constitution of these United States of America, as de- cided by the United States Circuit Court of the State of New York; therefore be it
 Resoiued, That the Trades Council of New Haven condemns said finding as a bold stroke by the capitalists at individ- ual rights.
 The Bayard treaty with Russia came in for deserved denunciation, which was formally expressed as follows:
 ResOtrPd. That the delegates to the Trades Council of New Haven denounce the extradition treaty lately made by Secretary-of State Bayard with Russia, whereby any citizen of that country guilty of political offence, who may escape from Muscovite tyranny to this country, once the harbor of refuge for the oppressed of every land, may be sent back to Russia; ana we warn the people of this Republic to beware of any such action as that lately taken by Bayard,
 The Trades Council also ratified the Constitution of the State Federation of Labor, and decided to be attached to that organizations
 The delegates of the Quarrymen's Union were admitted, and committee appointed to assist them. The building trades will be asked to aid them in get ting their demands
 The matter of celebrating labor day was referred to a committee consisting of one delegate from each organization represented.

WOOD CARvERS IN LINE.

At the general meeting of the New Haven Wood Carver's Associati on last Monday evening the following resolu tions were adopted unanimously: Resolred, That we denounce the ac- ton of the Federal administration at Washington in making an extradition treaty with the most despotic of all mon archical governments = -Russia-wbereby any citizen of that country guilty of political offence escaping to this republic may be returned to Russia for punish ment.
 ResoIred, That we denounce the said treaty as violation of American tradi- tions, un-democratic and un-American; that we view the said treaty as a man. Hesitation of the bond of sympathy and interest existing between the capitalistc administration of this republic and the monarchical despotisns of the old world. Resolred That we protest against the government of tiis country being used to prop up the tottering thrones of for eign despotisms, and we call upon all American citizens, without regard to race, descent or previous political afiilla- tions to make common cause m main taining this country as a safe refuge for the oppressed of all lands.
 It was decided that all members would abstain from purchasing the Joufndi aud Courier, having it upon their prem ises, or knowingly purchasing any goods from the advertisers therein, ex- pecting Typographical Union No. 47 to devise means whereby all may know who the advertisers are.
 All members are to be particularly careful in purchasing cigars to see that the box bears the label of the l. c. M. Union, and to give those stores a wide berth where they find any cigars packed in boxes without that label, excepting, of course, imported cigars
 The trade was reported exceptionally good in every direction.
 The constitution of the State Branch of the American Federation of Labor was ratified unanimously.
